Free vibration of coupled system including clamped-free thin circular plate with hole submerged in three-dimensional cylindrical container filled with inviscid, irrotational and compressible fluid is investigated in this work. Numerical approach based on the finite element method (FEM) is performed using the Comsol Multiphysics software, in order to analyze qualitatively the vibration characteristics of the plate. Plate modeling is based on Kirchhoff–Love plate theory. Velocity potential is deployed to describe the fluid motion since the small oscillations induced by the plate vibration is considered. Bernoulli’s equation together with potential theory is applied to get the fluid pressure on the free surface of the plate. To prove the reliability of the present numerical solution, a comparison is made with the results in the literature, which shows a very good agreement. Then, different parameters effect including fluid density, fluid height, free surface wave, hole radius and hole eccentricity on the natural frequencies of the coupled system is discussed in detail. Some three-dimensional mode shapes of the submerged plate are illustrated. Furthermore, the obtained results can serve as benchmark solutions for the vibration control, parameter identification and damage detection of plate.

Abstract This paper presents an easy-to-use theoretical method and an efficient numerical method for solving free vibrations and transient responses of a circular plate coupled with fluid subjected to impact loadings and provides insights into various coupling cases with these developed methods. The Kirchhoff plate theory, Mindlin–Reissner plate theory, and the linear velocity potential function are used. The wet mode of the coupled system is described as the superposition of dry modes of the plate, which has been considered in few studies. The natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes are solved using the orthogonality of dry modes. The transient responses of the plate are then solved using the superposition of the wet modes and the orthogonality of dry modes. To validate the theoretical results, an efficient and flexible finite element method is proposed and verified by comparing with commercial software. The four-node mixed interpolation of the tensorial component quadrilateral plate finite element (MITC4) and the eight-node acoustic pressure element are used to model the plate and the fluid, respectively. The theoretical and numerical methods provide reliable and accurate results. Parametric studies are performed to investigate the influence of geometric sizes, plate material properties, and fluid properties on the natural frequencies of the coupled system. A coupling parameter of fluid–structure interaction is proposed. The nondimensional added virtual mass incremental (NAVMI) factor decreases as the coupling parameter increases. Besides, the influence of fluid on wet modes of the plate decreases with the order.

Effects of delamination on free vibration characteristics of laminated stiffened cylindrical shells with pretwist are analyzed by finite element method. The investigation is carried out using an eight-noded quadratic isoparametric shell element, which incorporates the transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia along with a three-noded beam element for the stiffener. The multipoint constraint algorithm has been included to guarantee the compatibility of deformation, equilibrium of resultant forces, and moments at delamination crack tip. The general dynamic equilibrium equation is derived from Lagrange’s equation of motion for moderate rotational speeds for which the Coriolis effect is neglected. The standard eigenvalue problem is solved utilizing QR iteration algorithm. The accuracy of the present formulation is validated with benchmark solutions is available in the literature. The present work concerns about the effects of delamination, fiber orientation, twist angle, stiffener depth-to-shell thickness ratio, and rotational speed on the fundamental frequency of shallow cylindrical shells with stiffener. Representative mode shapes for some typical case of the stiffened shell for different twist angles and rotational speeds are also presented.

The free vibration of rotating disk–blade coupled system is investigated by the Ritz method. Centrifugal effects due to rotation are taken into account for both of the disk and blades. The boundary and continuity conditions between the disk and blades are satisfied by means of artificial springs introduced at their joints, and the orthogonal polynomials generated by using the Gram–Schmidt process are employed as admissible functions for both of the disk and blades. Frequency parameters and mode shapes of vibration are obtained to investigate the vibration of the disk–blade coupled system.

Free vibration study of non-uniform plates with in-plane material inhomogeneity is carried out in the present work considering geometric nonlinearity. Inhomogeneous plates where the material properties vary along only x-axis (unidirectional) and along both x- and y-axis (bidirectional) are considered. The analysis is performed for two boundary conditions namely clamped and simply supported at all edges, under the action of a transverse uniformly distributed load. The large amplitude problem is formulated using nonlinear strain–displacement relations along with a variational form of energy method. A two-step solution procedure is utilised where, in the first part the static problem is solved and undetermined coefficients are found, subsequently the dynamic problem is taken up on the basis of previously determined coefficients. Validity of the results is successfully confirmed by comparison with the works of other researchers. The analysis reveals that the amplitude and taper parameter affect the loaded natural frequencies significantly. Three-dimensional mode shapes for linear and nonlinear cases are presented along with their respective contour plots.

The present work analyses the buckling and vibration behaviour of non-homogeneous rectangular plates of uniform thickness on the basis of classical plate theory when the two opposite edges are simply supported and are subjected to linearly varying in-plane force. For non-homogeneity of the plate material it is assumed that young's modulus and density of the plate material vary exponentially along axial direction. The governing partial differential equation of motion of such plates has been reduced to an ordinary differential equation using the sine function for mode shapes between the simply supported edges. This resulting equation has been solved numerically employing differential quadrature method for three different combinations of clamped, simply supported and free boundary conditions at the other two edges. The effect of various parameters has been studied on the natural frequencies for the first three modes of vibration. Critical buckling loads have been computed. Three dimensional mode shapes have been presented. Comparison has been made with the known results.

Quasi-three-dimensional (3D) stability and free vibration analyses of bi-axially loaded, simply-supported, sandwich piezoelectric plates with an embedded either a functionally graded (FG) carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (CNTRC) core or a multilayered fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) one are presented. Three different distributions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through the thickness of the CNTRC core, i.e. uniformly distributed and FG V-, rhombus- and X-type variations, are considered, and the effective material properties of the CNTRC core are estimated using the rule of mixtures. The Pagano method, which is conventionally used for the analysis of multilayered FRC plates, is modified to be feasible for the study of sandwich hybrid CNTRC and piezoelectric ones, in which Reissner mixed variational theorem, the successive approximation and transfer matrix methods, and the transformed real-valued solutions of the system equations are used. The modified Pagano solutions for the stability and free vibration of multilayered hybrid FRC and piezoelectric plates are in excellent agreement with the exact 3D ones available in the literature, and those for sandwich hybrid CNTRC and piezoelectric plates may be used as the benchmark solutions to assess the ones obtained by using various 2D theories and numerical models.

A comprehensive investigation on free vibration of three-dimensional elastic solids of rectangular planform is reported. The continuum is considered to be free from normal and in-plane stresses on the facets. Functions representing the spatial displacement fields of the continuum in a complete Cartesian coordinate system are expressed in terms of sets of orthogonal polynomial functions in the x, y, and z directions. The energy functional derived based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory is minimized to arrive at the governing eigenvalue equation. In this paper, the vibration of stress-free elastic solids in the forms of short columns, thick plates, and solid cubes are studied. Frequency parameters and the first known three-dimensional deformed mode shapes have been generated for these stress-free elastic solids.

The size-dependent free vibration of microbeams submerged in fluid is presented in this paper based on the modified couple stress theory. Two different cross-section shapes of microbeams are considered, i.e. the circular cross-section and rectangular cross-section. This nonclassical microbeam model is introduced for capturing the size effect of microstructures. In this fluid and structure coupled system, the effect of hydrodynamic loading on microbeams can be expressed by the added mass method. By using Hamilton’s principle and differential quadrature (DQ) method, we can derive governing equations of microbeams in fluid, and then rewrite them in the discretized form. The frequencies and mode shapes for microbeams are determined by proposing an iterative method. Numerical examples are given to show the effect of fluid depth, fluid density, length scale parameter, slenderness ratio, boundary condition and cross-section shape on the vibration characteristics.

A three-dimensional (3-D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes of thick, circular rings with isosceles trapezoidal and triangular cross-sections. Displacement components us,uz, and uθ in the meridional, normal, and circumferential directions, respectively, are taken to be sinusoidal in time, periodic in θ, and algebraic polynomials in the ϕ and z directions. Potential (strain) and kinetic energies of the circular ring are formulated, and upper bound values of the frequencies are obtained by minimizing the frequencies. As the degree of the polynomials is increased, frequencies converge to the exact values. Novel numerical results are presented for the circular rings with isosceles trapezoidal and equilateral triangular cross-sections having completely free boundaries. Convergence to four-digit exactitude is demonstrated for the first five frequencies of the rings. The method is applicable to thin rings, as well as thick and very thick ones.
